Today's Bushism

[democratreformed]

My daughter talked me into buying a calendar of Bushisms (she said wouldn't it be great to have these to make you laugh every day). For today, January 27, the Bushism is:

"I suspect that had my dad not been president, he'd be asking the same questions: How'd your meeting go with so-and-so?...How did you feel when you stood up in front of the people for the State of the Union Address - state of the budget address, whatever you call it."

--Interview with the Washington Post; March 9, 2001

"Actually, I -this may sound a little West Texan to you, but I like it. When I'm talking about - when I'm talking about myself, and when he's talking about myself, all of us are talking about me."

6. Calendar

I have the Bushisms calendar too. Some really unbelievable comments. One of my favorites was (I wish I saved the exact day) "Is our children educated?" When there's enough dumb things from a president to fill a full calendar year, something is wrong.
